Yes...the TMS 9900, the first 16-bit microprocessor.  (It's too bad that TI
BASIC was written to run on the graphics controller instead of the main CPU,
which is what made it dog-slow.  The 99/4A should've blown everything else
on the market out of the water performance-wise.)

My IIGS got wedged when I tried the PRINT statement given above.  I have an
enhanced IIe, a II+, and a VIC-20 available that I could try this
on...except for the IIe, they're all "buried" under other stuff, though.
